Here we have some business portraits of a duo of interior decorators. They needed some shots for their "About" page on their website. These have not been retouched yet. C&C always welcome.

    1 and 5 are my favorites - they tell me more about the design aspect of what they do.

    All nat light, or did you add some fill?

    #1 is perfect. I don't think I like the window light in #2 and #3. I like #5 better than #4, the pose looks more natural.

    Thanks Diva. In 1 I bounced flash off the ceiling to my left to balance the window on my right. In 2 and 3 there is a shoot-through umbrella to my left. 4 and 5 are au naturel.

    Thanks Kate. They like the pose and setting in 2 and 3 so I will probably go back and try to dodge the window. Good point about 5.

    #1 is great, I prefer #2 over #3 ... that covers single shots if thats the plan, and #5 is a better dual posing shot then #4.

    I also like 1 & 5. The first is a nice pose but I'm drawn almost immediately to the whiteness of the wall. The table to her left is also a bit of a distraction-both could be taken care of in post.

    I would have liked to see a few wider shots to include some of their work as well as the head shots.

    Thanks Ian. I did ask if they wanted wider shots to show the interior, and I kind of went for that in 4&5, but they said they mostly wanted these shots to just be about them.

    They have chosen 1 and 3 for their individual portraits. I've retouched them, scroll up if you want to see, thanks.

    The first pic is great. And would choose 5 over 4. Not sure among 2 and 3.
